Over the last three years, a comprehensive analysis of Apple's support for Intel Macs has revealed that while updates and software support are decreasing, Intel Macs will receive their last major update with macOS 26 Tahoe. Apple has announced a transparent approach, offering two additional years of security updates post-discontinuation, which contrasts with the past silence surrounding support termination of PowerPC Macs. This change reflects a more predictable roadmap for users and suggests lessons learned from the earlier transition to Intel.
In retrospect, Apple’s support for Intel Macs offers a clearer, more predictable future compared to the abrupt end of support for PowerPC Macs.
The final macOS 26 Tahoe will mark the end of new updates for Intel Macs, with Apple providing two additional years of security updates after.
